Free electron theory tells us that resistivity is independent of magnetic field. In fact, most observations match the semiclassical prediction of a magnetoresistance that is quadratic at low fields before saturating. However, a…
Resonant tunneling diodes are formed using AlN/GaN core-shell nanowire heterostructures grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy on n-Si(111) substrates. By using a coaxial geometry these devices take advantage of non-polar (m-plane)…
Using ab initio methods, we propose a simple and effective way to substitutionally dope graphene sheets with Boron. The method consists of selectively exposing each side of the graphene sheet to different elements. We first expose one side…
Optical microscopy has a diffraction limited resolution of about 250 nm. Fluorescence methods (e.g. PALM, STORM, STED) beat this, but they are still limited to 10 s of nm, and the images are an indirect pointillist representation of only…
Superconductor/topological material heterostructures are intensively studied as a platform for topological superconductivity and Majorana physics. However, the high cost of nanofabrication and the difficulty of preparing high-quality…
Optical nonreciprocity is manifested as a difference in the transmission of light for the opposite directions of excitation. Nonreciprocal optics is traditionally realized with relatively bulky components such as optical isolators based on…
It is important for modern scanning microwave microscopes to overcome the effect of the surface roughness. Here, we report microwave conductivity imaging of the phase-separated iron chalcogenide K$_x$Fe$_y$Se$_2$ ($x=0.8$, $y=1.6$-$2$), in…
Sufficiently large depletion region for photocarrier generation and separation is a key factor for two-dimensional material optoelectronic devices, but few device configurations has been explored for a deterministic control of a space…
Extraordinary physical properties arise at polar interfaces in oxide materials, including the emergence of two-dimensional electron gases, sheet-superconductivity, and multiferroicity. A special type of polar interface are ferroelectric…
We report the instrumentation and experimental results of a cryogenic scanning microwave impedance microscope. The microwave probe and the scanning stage are located inside the variable temperature insert of a helium cryostat. Microwave…
Near-field enhanced, nano-Raman spectroscopy has been successfully used to probe the surface chemistry of silicon prepared using standard wafer cleaning and processing techniques. The results demonstrate the utility of this measurement for…
Polycrystalline samples of Z-type hexaferrites, having nominal compositions $\mathrm{Ba_3Co_{2+x}Fe_{24-2x}M_xO_{41}}$ where M = $\mathrm{Ir^{4+}, Hf^{4+}, Mo^{4+}}$ and x=0 and 0.05, were processed via ceramic processing protocols in…
The theoretical model is fully developed and the test rig is designed for the measurements of microwave parameters of unclad and laminated dielectric substrates. The geometry of the electromagnetic field in the resonator allows dielectric…
Photonic or electronic confinement effects in nanostructures become significant when one of their dimension is in the 5-300 nm range. Improving their development requires the ability to study their structure - shape, strain field,…
We demonstrate a silicon-based, single-layer anti-reflection coating that suppresses the reflectivity of metals at near-infrared frequencies, enabling optical probing of nano-scale structures embedded in highly reflective surroundings. Our…
Strongly anisotropic media where the principal components of the dielectric tensor have opposite signs are called hyperbolic. Such materials length exhibit unique nanophotonic properties enabled by the highly directional propagation of…
Placing a sensor close to the target at the nano-level is a central challenge in quantum sensing. We demonstrate high-spatial-resolution magnetic field imaging with a boron vacancy (V$_\text{B}^-$) defects array in hexagonal boron nitride…
We have realized a nano-electromechanical hybrid system consisting of a silicon nitride beam dielectrically coupled to a superconducting microwave resonator. We characterize the sample by making use of the Duffing nonlinearity of the…
Ptychography has become prominent at synchrotron facilities worldwide for characterizing biological and material specimens' topological structures and properties at the nanometer or atomic scale, due to its lens - less, highly quantitative…
In the past few years, phase-change materials have become increasingly important in nano-photonics and optoelectronics. The advantages of sizeable optical contrast between phases and the additional degree of freedom from phase switching…
